No I don't not have any written proof of the problems with the unit, only verbal notification was made on several accounts. There is no written proof of anything though for that matter, no lease, no record of rent paid (she gave me her personal account bank statement with cash deposits and said "This is what you have paid me."), and no written eviction.
I know some of you out there are saying "omg! this is your own aunt, you're a horrible person!" I have my own reasons for doing what I'm doing. During spring and summer I was paying her 2 months worth of rent every month just to get ahead and still she claims I'm more than 2 months behind when my records indicate I'm only 1 month behind at most.
Here's a list of problems with the unit as well, even though I don't have any written proof, I might be calling a home inspector if it comes down to that: Oven does not heat up at all (stove still works), my microwave has a 50% chance of tripping the breaker off and I lose power (breaker is located in the down stair unit's basement where I am not allowed). There are no smoke alarms in any rooms (2 bedroom, living room, kitchen) and only the living room and kitchen have places to mount them, the bedrooms do not. I only have 2 breakers for the entire upstairs unit which are also shared with some rooms of the downstairs unit, if they are using a space heather downstairs and I turn on my TV, there's a high chance my power will go out.
My aunt's daughter (my cousin) lives in the downstairs of the townhouse. For the past year she has been threatening me in many different ways, parking sideways in front of the garage so I can't park my car, stealing my magazine subscriptions and mail. At one point I called the police because I received 3 unemployment checks on the same day because she was holding my mail. I've been going to therapy and sleeping in my car before and after work and returning home only when she is at her job (I work 3rd shift) just to avoid confrontation in this hostile living situation. And there's nothing I can do because her mom owns the building and she lives in the downstairs for free (or so I have been told). My cousin even told me that if I talk to "HER" neighbors about any of this again (I've talked to them in the past) that shes going to show me how ugly of a person she really is (which I took as a threat).
I've called the police about 3 times in the 3 years I've lived here and nothing has been resolved because it's a "family matter", at least that's what the police keep telling me.
I'm just trying to get out of the house ASAP, I've already found a place which I am hopefully moving into by Sunday. I guess this is a lesson learned for both me and my aunt though, and I'm just trying to move on with my life and put this all behind me.
